\n\tOasis<\/a>\u2018 2025 reunion tour won the Major Tour of the Year award at the 2026 Pollstar Awards<\/a>, held Wednesday night in Hollywood as the centerpiece event of the annual Pollstar Live! conference, hosted by the primary trade magazine focused on the live music business..<\/p>\n

\n\tOther top winners in genre-based categories included Metallica (for rock tour of the year), Kendrick Lamar\/SZA (hip-hop tour of the year), the Weeknd<\/a> (R&B tour of the year), Benson Boone (pop tour of the year), Bad Bunny (Latin tour of the year), Adam Sandler (comedy tour of the year), and Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson (who tied for country tour of the year).<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean<\/a> continued her recent awards streak by winning in the category of support\/special guest of the year, for her stint as opening act on Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201cShort n\u2019 Sweet Tour.\u201d With a sold-out arena headlining tour commencing in May, it\u2019s safe to say Dean will probably never be eligible for a repeat win in that category.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther artists who came out on top in the Pollstar voting included the Eagles, for residency of the year (at their recurring Sphere gig in Las Vegas), and Teddy Swims, as new headliner of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany of the categories were set aside for venues or festivals. Austin City Limits and Ohana were named festivals of the year (in over 30,000 and under 30,000 attendance divisions, respectively). L.A. came out on top with the wins for nightclub of the year, the Troubadour, and outdoor venue of the year, the Hollywood Bowl. Las Vegas venues prevailed for arena of the year, which went to Sphere, and U.S. stadium of the year, a win for Allegiant Stadium. Nashville\u2019s Pinnacle picked up the prize for new concert venue of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the awards going to individuals were the award for promoter of the year, which went to Live Nation\u2019s Arthur Fogel, a bit of good news amid a tough day for that company, plus Barclay Center\u2019s Laurie Jacoby as venue executive of the year, Red Light\u2019s Coran Capshaw as personal manager of the year, Shore Fire\u2019s Rebecca Shapiro as publicist of the year, CAA\u2019s Allison McGregor as marketing executive of the year, and another CAA honoree, Darryl Eaton, as agent of the year. CAA scored an additional win as booking agency of the year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAll of the awards are voted upon within the music industry except for one fan-voted honor that was added this year, in connection with a media sponsor \u2014 the first iHeartRadio Pollstar Fan Favorite Award for Live Performer of the Year, which went to country superstar Morgan Wallen.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 37th annual Pollstar Awards were hosted by iHeartRadio personality Valentine and held at the conference\u2019s new location for 2026, the Loews Hollywood Hotel.<\/p>\n
